Custom materials [closed]
I have a problem while changing material parameters - it seems that i can't input any value including coma (example: i can change widht to 1m, but not 0.1m (same with inches, W/m2K or any other parameter)). Am I doing something wrong or is this some kind of bug? I'm using skp2015 and openstudio 1.7.1
Welcome @tadek.jakubow. It would be helpful to have a screen shot of what you're trying to do. If you're trying to use a comma
,
in place of a period.
for decimals it will likely cause an error in EnergyPlus.i know it's some kind of newbie problem, but im sure it's not about comma/period use. anyway, this gif might explain it better:

Thanks for the animated gif. It clearly looks like a bug, but I can't re-produce it on my machine. I have a few follow up questions.
Try saving the project before exiting that particular material. Are your changes retained?
Thank you for answer, This situation happens anytime I try to put integer value, anywhere (old and new materials, internal loads, etc.)
I'm using Win8.1, sketchup2015, openstudio 1.7.1. By now I tried reinstaling openstudio as well as downgrading openstudio to version 1.7.0, both with no effect.
Kent: I've tried it already, still resets to previous value.
We tested this with a windows 8.1 machine today and still are not able to reproduce. it. I know you are really seeing this, so I don't doubt that. I'm wondering if there is any other software out of the ordinary on your computer that might be interacting with OpenStudio. In particular other tools that might use QT. We'll keep looking into it.
I have the exact same problem using windows 10, OpenStudio 1.13
